Top-ranked Georgia begins its defense of last season’s national championship and its pursuit of its third consecutive title Saturday night in the Bulldogs’ season opener.

While trying to set a school record with its 18th consecutive win, Georgia will have a new starting quarterback in Carson Beck and a new offensive coordinator in Mike Bobo, but few would question the talent on offense, and defense, as the Bulldogs begin a season ranked No. 1 for the second time, and the first since 2008.

Here is some important information regarding how to follow the action Saturday:

Date: Saturday, Sept. 2

Time: 6 p.m. ET

Location: Sanford Stadium, Athens
